    I haven’t get my #viss, but since last year I was thinking about it. With these news and for what you see from the #USA, there is no way that I’ll throw myself into that humilliation

      football selling out to Qatar who use slave labour and stone gay people to death, now US who hate foreigners and will detain you at random, and being in 2034 in Saudi Arabia, who also hate human rights is just the icing on the cake. I wanted to fly to the US for the world cup, but fuck that, fuck Trump and his cronies across the globe

            Yeah and both of those are bad. Product dumping kills local businesses, like how the US sending clothes overseas kills domestic textile industries, and processed food aid kills farms needed for self-sufficiency.

                  Small shops aren’t the means of production but the profit extraction still operates through robbing wage slaves of the surplus value they create. The petite bougie bosses you’re trying to shill for are some of the most reactionary elements that go straight for fascism because it promises them protections from international capital (which is defined as a conspiratorial cabal unlike domestic capital hence their almost anti-capitalist rhetoric sometimes). They’re also some of the most cruel because they directly cheat employees that they know and interact with personally.

                  Yes, i want highly centralized production owned by the people not highly decentralized production owned by a multitude of petit-bourgeoisie. I want stuff to be abundant for everybody through mass production, not highly constrained by small scale production.

                Was really waiting for them to reveal how they knew this campaign was Chinese.

                I can believe that it’s something China could do, but I’m not sure why I should believe this article’s assumptions without evidence provided.

                  I’d be more surprised if countries like the US, China, and Russia weren’t trying to influence each other.

                  It seemed like the best source available from a ten-second Google search while taking a shit, but I can nip down to the local CIA field office and pick up some classified ops docs if you want a primary source, I’m sure they make that info available.

                can you please tell me how exactly chinese psyops will destroy the US? 'cause i can’t really see how anything they could would hurt the world.

                would the chinese, perhaps, campaign for communism in the US? how could that possibly be bad?

    I legitimately do not, and have never had, any of the usual social media. This lemm.ee account is the only one I have, and that’s closing down soon.

    However I would also never visit the us. So it’s all a win/win for me.

        Grizzly murders. Loads of them!!


        J/k. It’s my privacy. All those horrific murders were really easy to get away with, keeping my privacy private however…

      This was explained to me years ago. They don’t give a fuck about what you said. They want you to lie, in case they need to fuck you up. If for some reason they want to screw you, they’ll look for these uids, and if you hadn’t declared, they’ll slap perjury charges on you.

      Same, but it worries me that now I look like I’m hiding something.

      I guess technically I am hiding something: It’s disdain. Disdain for shitty social media is what I’m hiding.

      It’s a chance for everyone visitors to practice right think.

      While looking for a link, I found links that make me think some folks are trying to unironically reclaim the term “right think”. Gross.

      Too many people aren’t reading 1984 anymore, while billionaires thought it was a “how to” guide.

        Just don’t wait to ask Grok what it thinks “Right Think” is, as Musk plans for it to rewrite human knowledge and understanding with a new lens. :')

      There are still countries even worse than the US.

      And I think you’re underestimating the strength of an immigrant’s will to take risks to attempt to find a better life. Immigrants have suffered far worse throught US History.

      I mean, just take a look at Wong Kim Ark. Dude didn’t just give up and leave, he stood his ground and fought though it, even though he had no idea if the US would even consider his case seriously.

      And many people already have relatives in the US. So these are the risks they are willing to take to reunite. Unlike many westerners, who just completely give up on the slightest obstacles.

      (Although I do think the much better option now is the EU, if they don’t have any relatives in the US already.)

    I mean they make you sign away your rights and tell them if you’ve ever been affiliated with any one who was in or if you joined a communist party. So this is just another layer on the shit cake.
